Abstract: A method is disclosed for locating a speed sensitive ground condition (38) in a
field winding of an electromagnetic synchronous machine having a rotor and
an excitation circuit (48), said method including: sensing a magnetic flux (30)
generated by the field winding, while accelerating the rotor (43) and activating
the excitation circuit; detecting a cyclical aberration (46) in the magnetic flux
occurring during revolution of the rotor, and determining a position in the field
winding (50) corresponding to the cyclical aberration and identifying that
position as a location of the speed sensitive ground condition.

Abstract: A living body information detecting terminal (2) is
controlled from the side of a living body information monitoring
device (3) connected to the living body information detecting
terminal (2). In particular, a first living body information
detecting sensor that is driven at all times or a second living
body information detecting sensor that is in a power-save state
or performs measurement in an intermittent manner during normal
conditions, is selected, determined, and controlled from among
living body information detecting sensors (5) provided to the living
body information detecting terminal (2) depending on its wearer,
and the second living body information detecting sensor is operated
with transmission of an abnormality signal from the first living
body information detecting sensor as a trigger. As a result,
reductions in power consumption and data volume are attained, and
a living body information detecting terminal control system with
improved reliability is realized by verifying, at regular time
intervals, the operation condition of the living body detecting
sensor that is in a power-save state during normal conditions.

Abstract: A data processing system, a data processing method, a data
processing terminal used in the same, and a data processing program,
which enable reliable downloading of information such as electronic
ticket data while ensuring security even when an IC card is not set in the
terminal. On the occasion when downloading electronic ticket data
from a server of a ticket agency through a communication network, if a
storage medium such as an IC card to store the data is not mounted in a
data processing terminal, the data is encrypted and temporarily stored in
an internal memory or a storage device having a capacity larger than
that of the internal memory of the data processing terminal. When the
storage medium has been mounted in the data processing terminal, the
electronic ticket data is read out of the internal memory or the storage
device. Thereafter, the electronic ticket data is decrypted and stored in
the storage medium. Thus, it becomes possible to download information
such as electronic ticket data while ensuring security.
